Love Live! Sunshine!! (ラブライブ！サンシャイン!!)

It was the miracle that I desperately needed.

It could only be one thing... fate.

Look! Come on, Chika!

I wanted to be captivated by something.

Take one!

I wanted to do my best in something.

I'll help you!

I just wanted to put my best foot forward, but...

...my feet didn't exactly know where they were going yet.

Luckily, destiny stepped in and took charge.

It gave me a push, and there it was!

The something!

Join the School Idol Club!

Starting this Spring!

School Idol Club!

Sign up today and don't delay!

You! You!

Come on, embrace your inner idol!

The School Idol Club wants you!

Don't you want the Idol Club too?!

Uh, Chika?

They all just ignored me.

Uh...

Why doesn't anyone wanna sign up?

We're so... cool!

What was that?

If I had to guess, I would say Chika.

Is this about that idol nonsense again?

The noise is gonna bother our customers.

I asked her to keep it down.

She's living in a dream world!

Things work too differently way out here in the country!

Aw, man, that one hurt.

Is anything injured?

Nah, only my pride!

Whatcha think?

Tell me!

Mm... Well...

Looks good to me!

Hooray!

So are you really serious about this club?

Yep!

What the...?

Check it out, I plan on setting it all up

right after we start the new term!

Heh. Okay. Any members? Oh!

As of right now, nobody, unless of course you count

me, myself, and I. You're already in swim club.

No offense, but this school idol thing seems kind of sudden.

It does?

Well, yeah. I mean, it's not like you've ever taken

any sort of interest in club activities before, so...

...what's the deal?

Mm...

If we don't hurry, we'll miss the bus!

Chika! You! Hey, hey!

What have I told you girls about using the guest entrance?

It's an emergency!

There it goes!

We want on!

Stop that bus!

Thank goodness they stopped for us!

We'd be super late if we had to wait for the next one.

Whoa, you've already made a flyer?

Yep! Nothing wrong with being prepared.

Ah... Plus I'm super excited!

Well, yeah. It's just...

Is something wrong?

No! I'm excited, too!

I'll do my very best to help you out, Chika!

The School Idol Club needs people like you.

They're like, crazy popular, and too good to be true.

Well don't rush in all at once.

Whoa, she's gorgeous--

Hiya!

Ever thought of becoming a school idol?

Zura?

Zura...?

Forget I said it!

Anyway, I promise our club will be tons of fun!

I'm sure you'd both be very popular!

So, what do you think?

Huh? You want us to be idols?

Whoa.

Here, down here!

Are you interested?

It sounds cool! Do you put on concerts?

Mm-mm. Well, I mean, not as of right now.

I'm still putting everything together,

that's why I need a cutie like you!

Huh?

Zura!

I'm so sorry.

Ruby runs on the shy side.

Uh?

Ow, my legs!

Hey, um... are you gonna be okay?

Where hast I landed? It's so lowly!

Oh no, she's brain damaged!

No, not at all!

Ordinary humans such as yourselves

could never comprehend the greatness standing before you!

Whoa.

Okay, I'm more worried about your legs though.

Pain is just a state of mind!

For this fragile meat vessel is only too temporary!

You might assume that I am one of your own kind,

but in fact I am Yohane, the fallen angel!

Oops, I probably shouldn't have revealed my true identity!

Guess there's no...

Hold up, Yoshiko?

Oh my gosh, it is you!

It's me Hanamaru!

From kindergarten, remember?

Ha-na-ma-ru-ru?

I know not of whom you speak, you insolent girl!

Rock... Paper...

....Scissors!

Look at those scissors; you're definitely Yoshiko!

That is a human name!

I'm Yohane, the fallen angel, got it?!

Yohane!

Hang on!

Hey!

Ah! Get lost!

Yoshiko, Don't run away!

Slow down!

Beat it, mortal!

That was strange.

Oh well, I'm gonna recruit those girls later!

Are these flyers yours?

Were you the ones passing them out earlier?

Huh?

I wasn't aware we had a School Idol Club here

at Uranohoshi Girls' High School,

so perhaps you could enlighten me?

Are you a new student at this school?

No, she's not a new student, stupid!

She's actually one of the third years!

And more importantly, she is...

No way!

The Student Council President?

Basically, you were recruiting new members

for a club you've yet to apply for,

further more you have not received permission

to start said club.

Is that against the rules?

I wasn't trying to cause trouble or anything!

I'm just really excited about this club,

so I might have jumped the gun a bit.

Ah-ha. And how many members do you have?

There's only one name written on the form you've provided me.

Well, if you count me, uh, just me.

I see.

Need I remind you

that you actually need five members to start a new club?

That's exactly why I was trying to recruit people, silly!

You're in no position to be laughing!

I'm sorry, ma'am!

Anyway, as it is, I simply cannot accept this application.

It's far from complete.

Wha...?

C'mon Chika, let's just come back later.

Fine! I'll submit it again when I have five members!

Well, you're free to do whatever you wish.

But don't get your hopes up

in regards to getting your club approved.

Why wouldn't it be?

Because as long as I'm the student council president,

I will never allow a School Idol Club to form here!

That's... not fair!

Well, that was a complete bust.

I mean, what does President Grumpy Pants

have against School Idol Clubs anyway?

I don't think she's like them.

Okay, a while back, one of the girls in my class

tried to start an Idol Club too but she also got rejected.

What?! Did you know that this whole time?!

Sorry!

Why didn't you say something earlier then?

You were so excited.

I didn't want to ruin it for you.

I heard a rumor...

Supposedly, the president comes from a really old fishing family

or something like that.

Anyway, some of the other students say
